I’ll admit, I was the first one to raise an eyebrow during the whole 2 ingredient banana pancake phase a few months ago. But as it turns out, they were kinda good. These are better in my opinion. Sweet potatoes > Bananas At least in terms of making pancakes. All you need to do is cook a sweet potato to the point of it being way done. So the flesh can be separated from the skin and scooped out easily. You can do this in the microwave or the oven or using a combo of… Read more >

For the first time since we arrived in Nor Cal, Kyle was able to sleep in spend the day with me (and not working). Sleeping in is a thing of the past. I made Kyle breakfast first while he got in some baby time. He misses P so much when he’s gone. That toast I made him is Semifreddi’s sour batard. One of the best breads in the Bay Area in my opinion. My breakfast was later because I was working on my dandy tea (still no GI upset with it, so that’s good). In… Read more >

In my family we call this “the special plate”. You get it on your birthday or when you do something that deserves kudos (like getting a new job or graduating or something like that). But enough about the serving ware, let’s talk about this cake. It’s sugar free, for one. And vegan. It’s pretty good also. It does taste semi “healthy” but I really liked it. Kyle did too. We both agreed it was super rich and filling, so you get lots of bang for your buck. Mini Vegan Chocolate Birthday Cake [vegan,… Read more >

For the past 6 days Kyle and I have been in the East Bay. It’s incredible having P in my hometown – and very cool/weird/surreal taking him to all the places I grew up around. He’s also gotten to meet some of my bestest friends. But I’ll back up to the trip to get here…because we were slightly apprehensive knowing we had a 6+ hour drive with a baby. We’ve conquered hour long walks no problem. Short outings are a breeze. But the I-5 is a whole other ball game – there are 35… Read more >

OH. EM. GEEEEEEE. Ok, I know it’s kinda weird to get SO excited over a casserole, but this was crazy good. And simple! My mom went grocery shopping for us while we were in the hospital and she bought us tofurky’s chorizo crumbles, which I’d never tried before. I’m skeptical of faux meat products. I have my faves (like Field Roast), and I have my avoids (like smart pups), so this one remained to be determined… It’s soy based (non GMO) using soy flour and canola oil, with not much else aside from seasonings. Not… Read more >
